Pearl & Samuel’s Magical Wedding in Greece
If you are contemplating whether to have a destination wedding or not, photos below from Pearl & Samuel’s wedding would probably convince you to because it shows just how beautiful destination weddings are!
When Pearl & Samuel contacted us, they were considering Athens, Santorini, Barcelona or Portugal for their destination wedding but they chose Santorini. But who would not choose Santorini with its magnificent view of the Caldera offering its own type of decoration and backdrop. The Greek Island of Santorini is one of the most romantic places in the world. Couples from all around the world go to Santorini for the wedding of their dreams. Santorini is therefore considered a world leader of "wedding tourism".
The couple’s brief for the décor was “minimal floral but lots of candles in different sizes, elegant, a lot of white but with touch of dusty pink, very clean and sophisticated.” The couple’s vision was to have lots of lights at the wedding hence why we got 250 windproof candles in different heights, the fairy light canopy and the ground sparklers for the first dance. These all created a romantic and magical mood for the outdoor wedding reception setting at the infinity pool venue at Rocabella.
You cannot take guests abroad and not ensure they have a great time and so it is important that you get the entertainment, food and drink right at your destination wedding, we got all three right at Pearl & Samuel’s wedding. Food and beverage wise, hydration station with water and lemon/cucumber was positioned close to the infinity kiosk where the ceremony took place and this was available for guests upon arrival and throughout the duration of the ceremony as it was a hot day. After the ceremony, canapés, prosecco, elderflower, passion fruit martini, soft drinks and water was available for the pre-reception with a harpist playing. The buffet dinner was delicious coupled with red/white wine and pineapple juice. For the party, the guests were treated to an open bar and the DJ did such an amazing job with the music.
The wedding colour scheme of white with a touch of dusty pink featured in the stationery. The white and pink text menu cards, dusty pink place cards, dusty pink acrylic table plan and dusty pink acrylic signs. For the florals, we wanted flowers with less or no pollen and so the florist used a combination of white avalanche roses, white hydrangea, white lisianthus, big white chrysanthemum, baby’s breath and foliage and it all looked beautiful.
Instead of a photobooth, the couple provided props and polaroid camera which the guests used to take fun photos, stick a copy in the guestbook with a message to the couple.
All in all, it was a stunning wedding and the set up at night was magical, it looked like something from the movies, Lol!
